Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism, including our Tommy. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges and so much potential. Tommy's village of family and friends will be there for him every step of the way to reach his potential!

It's only through the dedicated support of people like us that Autism Speaks can continue their vital mission work. Each year, the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team makes direct contact with tens of thousands of individuals looking for advice or guidance and more than one million people access their free nationwide autism services and resources. They continue to partner and support research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that will allow more personalized treatments and therapies. Tommy has benefited greatly from such services. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

Tommy and his family are asking you to please join us by donating to help reach our fundraising goal. Together, we have the power to enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference.

Thanks so much for your support!
